Heidelberg, Germany, June 27, 1964: U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy leans from his automobile to shake hands outside the University of Heidelberg’s auditorium June 27, 1964 where he just finished a speech and answered questions from the crowd for 50 minutes.

When asked to explain the sudden popularity for the Republican Presidential nominee Sen. Barry Goldwater, Kennedy said the Arizona candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination was a “very articulate” critic of the present Administration and spokesman for those “people who oppose everything.”

“They want schools, good government and atomic weapons but they just don’t like the people in Washington who are providing these things.”
